I'm sick and tired of going to the store, and finding shelves upon shelves of Bumblebees waiting to greet me, with the only one that isn't a 'Bee is something else I have, like Roadbuster. Anyway, I'm very excited to get Prime Starscream. Looks like an amazing figure. I really hope Prime ‘Bee doesn’t become a shelfwarmer, like his DOTM counterpart has.

By the way, thanks for making me worry I missed a second gun for my Prime Bumblebee! Figure came out just in time, as I just set up my Bumblebee shelf! http://wp.me/p11lZO-cj (Now I just need Rescue Bot BB and his human partner, Axel. And all the other Bumblebees I'm missing.)

(Whoda thunk?) I like having the extra control when possible. If they made Sharpies of Model Master paint colors, I'd never use a brush again.

Go to Hobby Lobby, buy Testors Silver and Gunmetal. As you need to darken/lighten the silver mix drops of it with gunmetal on a different pallet/bottlecap/whatever. You can really get any shade of silver you want here. Want to make invincible silver? Mix up 1/4 Formula P3 Quicksilver, 1/4 Testors Silver, 1/4 Tamiya Clear, 1/4 Games Workshop Mithril silver, then a little rubbing alcohol to thin it out. Makes silver that won't come off your fingers (or anything else) without scrubbing. On the downside it dries kinda fast so you have to be quick or thin it out.

It's more show-accurate short of vac-metallizing it. You gonna re-paint his face in a brighter silver ala the NYCC version?
